COMMUNITY ... an avid fan . . . pride in 
a team . . . taco party . . . Mrs. Waisnora. 


v _~ 



I see a young school . . . 

Refusing to believe 

That recognition comes only with age. 

I see a FACULTY . . . 

Yielding the contagious— 

Their youth, knowledge, and support . . . 
Bringing a light to learning ... 

This, the light of dedication. 

Freedom, flexibility . . . 

Employing every facility 
To unleash the students' potential. 

Pride in the student's success . . . 

A reflection of his accomplishment. 

I see a STUDENT . . . 

Extending himself beyond all limitations . . . 
Accepting a challenge to prove his strength. 

I see his pride . . . 

Forming an unwavering bond . . . 

Stemming from a desire within . . . 

Uniting all as one. 

I see a COMMUNITY . . . 

Unequaled in loyalty and support . . . 
Wholeheartedly boosting all school events . . . 
Acting as honorary alumni 
For a too young school. 

They envisioned a maturing greatness . . . 

For who could imagine . . . 

That a dream deemed so important 
Could reach such magnitude . . . 

In such a minute capsule of time. 

I see our reputation 
Steadily molded to prominence by 
The unique and unified 
Accomplishments of 
The FACULTY . . . 

The STUDENTS . . . 

The COMMUNITY .... 

I see an image . . . 

Expressing the pride 

Of a person forever reaching out 

For that beam of success . . . 

Proving that . . . 

HE IS PROUD; 

AND YET, 

HIS PRIDE BECOMES HIM.

Learning: Computerized Mod System Initiated 


September, 1968 . . . 

Innovations continued to change our school's pace . . . 
Last year's attractions: 

A fieldhouse, science lab, and resource center . . . 
Momentarily faded as "flexible scheduling" reigned . . . 
The Commons and Lecture Halls were "testing grounds" 
For student responsibility and directed study. 

The debut of the modular system . . . 

Fifteen thirty-minute periods each day . . . 

More time for labs that demanded it . . . 

Complaints of a full-day of resource . . . 

New terminology . . . 

"Mod" . . . "Res-ls-Lab" . . . "Flexible Scheduling" . . . 

A sense of freedom initiated . . . 

A feeling of maturity attained.

MHS Tradition 




Striving To Achieve New Distinction 

I'm overwhelmed with a desire for new ideas . . . 
My actions now take on a significance . . . 

And I reflect on traditions I have fostered . . . 

A tattered, checkered flag 
Telling the tale of triumph in its wear . . . 
Reflecting the pride of two senior classes. 

A rusty, antique bell 

Transformed into a red and white wonder . . . 
Celebrating in sound our triumph . . . 

Mourning silently our defeat. 

Sectional Spirit Week . . . 

Ignited by class rivalry . . . 

Classes cheered . . . then masses . . . 

All were caught in a whirlwind of enthusiasm. 
My reflections envision the Northcote bridge . . . 
Its scars unseen under coats of red and white. 

I continue to recall the simple things . . . 

The fascination of class rings . . . 

Four years of my life embedded in cords . . . 
Senior Week . . . 

Its Prank Day and parties . . . 

A last look at friends. 

I helped build these few traditions . . . 

I leave them now to the future.

1969 PARAGON SPECIFICATIONS 

The 1969 Paragon was printed by Paragon Press, Montgomery, Alabama. 
The original 10 column layout was developed by our staff for our 
own purposes and convenience. The Paragon has 2 pica inner margins 
with outer margins of 3,4,4,6 picas. The layout style for the Paragon 
focuses on a dominant picture per two-page spread with an effective 
use of white space. The Paragon was printed on 90 lb. paper, in a 
Calais (Dull) stock. Copy was set in 8 pt. Spartan Lite for captions; 
10 pt. Spartan Lite for page labels; 12 pt. Spartan Lite for body copy; 
and 30 pt. Spartan Lite Upstyle for heads. The scoreboxes and cast 
blocks are in 20% grey screens with a 5 pt. 80% border. The border 
around the faculty and class picture panels are 2 pt. 100% lines. A 
3 pt. 100% border was used around divider page pictures with a 5 pt. 
100% border around the divider copy. The theme copy is in reverse on a 
100% block. The copy blocks are flush left, ragged right with emphasis on 
informality. 

A major portion of our photography was done by Walingers Studio of 
Chicago, Illinois. The pictures were made from 8x8 black and white 
glossies. The special effects in photography were achieved through the 
use of a fish eye lense, wide angle and super wide angle lenses. The 10, 
four-color pictures in the opening are a part of a Rainbow-Color 
plan offered exclusively by Paragon Press. The 3 four-color pictures 
in the closing are not included in the plan. 

The cover was designed by S.K. Smith of Chicago, Illinois. The cover is in 
blue book cloth (AL 3-590) with lettering done in Green per 1969 
Whigren. The book is smyth-sewn with headbands. The endsheets 
are color-coordinated with the cover. 






EDITOR'S WIND-UP 

As we come to the close of our 1969 yearbook, we 
feel a sense of satisfaction derived from surveying a 
work completed. This work represents a combined 
effort of our faculty, student body, and our commun- 
ity. Because we feel very strongly that there is a unique 
quality in Munster of everyone working together to 
achieve excellence, we have used this as the theme of 
our book. It is our hope that this book has captured 
and expressed this quality of Munster High School. 

Answering questions such as "How is the yearbook 
doing? When will the book come out?— Experiencing 
a sudden popularity when accompanying a photogra- 
pher around school — Scheduling pictures and over- 
coming the difficulties of getting the exact pose — Meet- 
ing people and learning how to get along with all 
types of individuals, these are some of the trials and 
rewards of being a yearbook editor. Sharing with us 
these trials and rewards were our conscientious, dedi- 
cated staff, and our adviser Mrs. Wilson. Their contri- 
butions to the yearbook production — cropping pic- 


tures, fitting headlines, writing copy— made possible 
a full, complete book. 

We appreciate the staff members who forfeited their 
time to work on all — night and even all week-end 
deadlines. We are most grateful to our adviser for 
her devotion, energy, and enthusiasm. She was a fellow 
worker, planner, and worrier from whom we learned 
a true sense of dedication. 

Because you, the students of Munster High, are the 
real substance of this book, we hope it will be for you 
a meaningful remembrance of the lingering past — its 
enthusiasm, its failures, its apathy, its achievements. A 
review of a single year of an experience called life.
